A private half day with a local guide in a car for up to four or a van for up to seven, priced per group, mixing local areas, viewpoints and a swim if you want one.

Pickup is only from the Funchal area; the toboggan ride and the Cabo Girão skywalk are paid extras. 5 from 192 reviews at €190 per group/vehicle.
